camel-mongodb-source-kafka-connector source configuration

Connector Description: Consume data from MongoDB. If you enable the `persistentTailTracking` property, the consumer keeps track of the last consumed message and, on the next restart, the consumption restarts from that message. If you enable `persistentTailTracking`, you must provide a value for the `tailTrackIncreasingField` property (by default it is optional). If you disable the `persistentTailTracking` property, the consumer consumes the whole collection and waits in idle for new data to consume. The collection that provides the data must be a capped collection.

When using camel-mongodb-source-kafka-connector as source make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for the connector:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-mongodb-source-kafka-connector</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel Kafka connector version -->
</dependency>

To use this source connector in Kafka connect you’ll need to set the following connector.class

connector.class=org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector.mongodbsource.CamelMongodbsourceSourceConnector
